Enna Clark didn’t know how to respond.
Wyndham Howell saw her embarrassment, raised the corner of his mouth, and chuckled. “This is the first time I’ve ever confessed my feelings to someone of the opposite sex. I didn’t expect to be rejected the first time.”
Wyndham’s starry eyes curved into a gentle smile. “There’s nothing to be sorry about. If rejecting someone you don’t like is embarrassing, wouldn’t it be even more embarrassing for me, who failed in my confession?”
He took a bag from the car and handed it to Enna. “This is a small gift from
Rose and me. We forgot to give it to you when we gave you the fruit.”
“This is…” Enna saw the beautiful gift box inside the bag but didn’t reach for it.
Wyndham laughed and placed the bag in her arms, calmly saying, “Don’t worry; it’s just some throat lozenges.”
He didn’t mention that these lozenges were made by him and Rose Howell in a workshop specializing in handmade candies.
Upon hearing that the bag only contained candies, Enna’s expression relaxed, and she sincerely thanked him. “Thank you.”
Wyndham restarted the car, and they drove smoothly to the wet market.
Enna thought their atmosphere would be tense and awkward, but Wyndham seemed to forget the previous incident and occasionally threw in a topic, striking the Derfect balance between comfortable and encaging. making it hard for her not to relax…
They quickly finished shopping and drove back to the neighborhood.
When they arrived at the apartment building, Enna got out of the car first. Wyndham suddenly called out to her. “Enna.”
“Hmm?” She looked back.
Wyndham rolled down the car window, and for the first time, he removed the gold-wire glasses on his nose bridge. He revealed a handsome face, and his lips faintly spoke with seriousness. “Enna, can we still be friends?”
..Why are you asking this?” Enna didn’t quite understand his meaning.
Wyndham chuckled, his eyes half-lidded. “I think you have a strong sense of principle, and my intuition tells me that what I said in the car earlier might affect your attitude towards me. Maybe from now on, you’ll keep your distance from me.”
“…” Enna was genuinely surprised that he had guessed her thoughts. Indeed, she had planned to keep her distance from Wyndham Howell as much as possible, so as not to spill jealousy at home.
Knowing he was right, Wyndham looked into Enna’s eyes. “I hope you won’t take the previous incident to heart, and we can still be friends in the future. Really.”
Now that he’d said so much, it would be too pretentious for Enna to be embarrassed. After all, it’s the 21st century; all he’d done was confess his feelings, and they had discussed it openly. If she brooded over it now, especially after he’d brought it up, it would be too… contrived. Realizing this, she answered earnestly, “Of course! You’re Rose’s dad, so we’re definitely friends.”
“Mm.” Wyndham raised the corner of his mouth, and his eyebrows relaxed.
“You go on up first. I’ll go park the car.”
Enna carried her things and went up the stairs.
As she reached the corner of the staircase, her wrist was suddenly grabbed, and she was yanked away. Her back slammed against the wall with a loud thud.
A familiar, masculine scent enveloped her forcefully!
“Enna, you two seemed to be having a great chat?”
